Polynomial evaluation schemes

A. C. R. Newbery · Mathematics of Computation · 1975

An attempt is made to define a polynomial evaluation algorithm that is more resistant to accumulated round-off error than the schemes of Horner and Clenshaw under conditions of floating-point arithmetic. An algorithm is presented which generally compares favorably with both. Some suggestions are made, which could plausibly lead to substantial further improvements.
